GloRilla brought her Memphis tenacity to Indianapolis as she headlined the 2025WNBA All-Star Game Halftime Show on Saturday night (July 19) with a dynamic performance. Introduced by ESPN’s Elle Duncan, Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter, Big Glo hit the stage in a custom one-of-one Gatorade letterman jacket. It was inscribed with an homage to her “Let Her Cook” hit across the back, along with the signature Gatorade towel in the hood area.She kicked things off by amping up the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd with the aforementioned “Let Her Cook” before moving into other fan favorites, such as June single “Typa” and “TGIF.”Glo and her team of dancers then took the show to center court while the WNBA All-Stars remained on the sidelines to take in the performance, which had the group going crazy. Stars Brittney Sykes and Angel Reese were hyped up and loving Big Glo’s energy, as they sang along to just about every word.

The 25-year-old Memphis native finished off the halftime show with her Sexyy Red-assisted “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME,” which is certified platinum by the RIAA and peaked inside the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20.Glo’s music has been part of the in-arena broadcast as hits like “Hollon” have been played throughout the Fieldhouse during timeouts. BIA was also part of the All-Star Game, setting the tone of the night with her “We On Go” performance during pre-game player introductions.Next up for GloRilla, she’ll keep the party going into the heat of the summer when she hosts her inaugural Glo Bash next Friday (July 25) at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, which boasts performances from Rob 49 and Muni Long. With Team Clark down two starters, including hometown hero Caitlin Clark, Team Collier has built a comfortable 20-plus point cushion in the second half of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game and should be able to coast to victory and hoist the trophy, barring a disaster. Watch a highlight from GloRilla’s performance below.
It’s not just a sweet, sweet fantasy: Mariah Carey‘s about to deliver something “Sugar Sweet.” The pop queen stepped into the kitchen to whip up a small taste of what’s to come for fans this weekend — in the form of a light, sugary song.Carey shared a short video of herself mixing batter at the kitchen counter on Saturday (July 19). In the social media clip catered for fans, she fixes her gaze on the camera with a knowing smile and mouths the lyrics to a new tune.
Dressed in bubblegum pink, the star previews a sweet hook that has her singing, “Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet.”No release date or further details have emerged about “Sugar Sweet,” but assuming the single arrives soon, it’ll be the follow-up to “Type Dangerous,” which just got a remix EP release featuring collaborations with Big Sean, DJ Snake, Method Man and more. Both tracks would likely find a place on Carey’s as-yet-untitled 16th studio album.Fortunately for eager fans awaiting Carey’s first full-length studio project since 2018, the new album is ready to go when she’s ready to reveal it.“What is next? The album coming out. I don’t wanna tell too much about it because I just don’t want to reveal the whole thing. It’s finished,” she confirmed in an Apple Music interview last month. In that conversation, she also left a hint that “Sugar Sweet” was on the way, adding that “a second single is coming soon. I’m very excited about it. It’s very summery. I like the beat as well.”See Carey’s “Sugar Sweet” clip below.
A 3D project is underway from Billie Eilish and acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron, the singer announced Saturday night (July 19) in Manchester, England, where she performed the first of a four-show run at the city’s Co-Op Live. While details remain under wraps, Eilish let the cat out of the bag to the U.K. crowd as they’ll apparently be a component of the release that’s in the works.“You may have noticed there’s more cameras than usual here,” she said from the stage Saturday. “I can’t say much about it, but what I can say is I’m working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it’s gonna be in 3D.”“So, take that as you will,” she teased. “These four shows here in Manchester, you and me, are part of the thing that I am making.”
“And also, I’ll probably be wearing this exact outfit for four days in a row,” she said with a laugh. Eilish, currently in the midst of her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, was wearing black-and-blue plaid bottoms and a “Hard and Soft” jersey.Spanning two years, the world tour in support of her Hit Me Hard and Soft studio album (which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200) began in fall 2024 and runs through November 2025. Several dates were added to the itinerary in May, including the trek’s last two nights in San Francisco.

Charli XCX and The 1975‘s George Daniel have tied the knot.The 32-year-old pop star was seen in a stunning wedding dress kissing the 35-year-old drummer in London on Saturday (July 19), TMZ reports. Video footage shared on X captures the couple celebrating outside Hackney Town Hall, surrounded by close family and friends.
For the occasion, the Brat hitmaker wore a white, off-the-shoulder silk gown in a shorter style rather than a traditional long dress. She styled her long hair down and completed the look with a flowing white veil. Daniel was dressed in a dark double-breasted suit paired with a light collared shirt.The ceremony was an intimate affair with around 20 close family members and friends in attendance, according to TMZ. Daniel’s bandmates from The 1975 were reportedly present, with the exception of frontman Matty HealBillboard has reached out to Charli XCX’s representatives for comment.Charli and Daniel began dating in 2022 and announced their engagement a year later. The couple made their relationship Instagram official in May 2022, following their collaboration on Charli’s 2022 album, Crash, which reached at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. Daniel also contributed production on tracks including “In the City,” her duet with Sam Smith, as well as “Hot Girl” for the Bodies Bodies Bodies soundtrack.Charli took last summer by storm with the release of her sixth album, Brat, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, her highest-charting album to date. From its meme-worthy lime-green cover to its surprising role in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, the project propelled her from cult favorite to bona fide pop A-lister.Following a successful tour in support of Brat, Charli has shifted her focus to onscreen opportunities, including a film she conceptualized for A24 titled The Moment. She also recently lined up a gig to star in and produce the next movie from Japanese horror director Takashi Mike (Yakuza Apocalypse).
Katy Perry experienced a frightening moment during her San Francisco stop on the Lifetimes Tour.While performing at the Chase Center on Friday (July 18), the 40-year-old pop superstar was seated on a flying butterfly prop when it malfunctioned mid-air, nearly sending her plunging into the crowd below.
In fan-captured video shared on X, Perry is seen singing her 2013 Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Roar” while soaring above the audience. Mid-performance, the prop jerks downward after slipping from its wire, causing a drop that nearly unseats her.Visibly startled, Perry stopped singing and clutched the winged prop to regain her balance as it swayed in the air. Once it steadied and she regained her composure, she resumed the song and finished the performance strong.After the show, Perry took to social media to react to the mid-air mishap. “Goodnight San Fran,” she wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a screen-grab of her terrified expression during the drop.This isn’t the “Firework” hitmaker’s first onstage technical issue. During a Lifetimes Tour stop in Australia in late June, a similar malfunction occurred when a flying sphere she was riding began to tilt mid-performance, forcing her to grab onto the support cables for stability, according to People.Perry isn’t the only artist to deal with high-flying prop malfunctions recently. Beyoncé also experienced a scare during her Cowboy Carter show in Houston in late June. During a performance of “16 Carriages,” the “Texas Hold ’Em” singer’s suspended car stalled and tilted above the audience at NRG Stadium, causing a brief delay in the show.Perry is currently touring in support of her latest album, 143, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Her next show is scheduled for Monday (July 21) in Seattle, followed by shows in Canada, Europe and South America. The trek, which launched in late April, is set to wrap in early December.
Just days after teasing a new project on social media, Tyler, The Creator has announced he’s dropping a new album on Monday (July 21).During his concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday (July 18), the 34-year-old rapper and producer shouted to the crowd what appears to be the title of his ninth album, Don’t Tap the Glass, according to Variety. Outside the venue, fans spotted an art installation featuring a muscular figure enclosed in a clear box — seemingly a nod to the upcoming album’s cover art.
In the days leading up to the show, Tyler hinted at a surprise set for July 21 by posting cryptic images on his Instagram, including a Louis Vuitton bag, a mannequin’s head and a trumpet player in a band uniform. On Saturday (July 19) morning, he dropped a link to donttaptheglass.com, a website promoting the new album and featuring vinyl, T-shirts and hats branded with the album title.The website also displayed three color-coded boxes with cryptic messages: a blue box reading, “Body movement. No sitting still”; a yellow one stating, “Only speak in glory. Leave your baggage at home”; and a red box that read, “Don’t tap the glass.”Billboard has reached out to Tyler, The Creator’s representatives for more details about the upcoming release.In late June, Tyler and Doechii previewed their Pharrell-produced track “Get Right” during the Louis Vuitton SS26 show in Paris. The song marks their second collaboration, following “Balloon” from Tyler’s 2024 Billboard 200-topping album Chromakopia. It remains unclear whether “Get Right” will be included on his new album.Don’t Tap the Glass follows last year’s Chromakopia, which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The 14-track album featured guest appearances from Doechii, Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, and others. Tyler is currently touring North America in support of the album and will soon head to Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.
